Dr. Sarika Bose

Dr. Bose completed doctoral studies on Victorian Theatre and Oscar Wilde at the University of Birmingham in England and has been teaching in the University of British Columbia’s (UBC) Department of English Language and Literatures since 1999.

Her teaching interests include Victorian Drama and Novel, Children’s Literature (especially British) and general drama. Dr. Bose’s recent interests in Victorian literature and culture have been in exploring how Victorian writers of fiction and drama responded to new scientific discoveries and new encounters with people in countries with unfamiliar cultures.

Dr. Bose is very excited to be teaching at Corpus Christi-St. Mark’s and enjoys having the chance to explore literary questions in small classes.
